Vegan Recipes and Cooking!

I am just starting to make a vegan life and want to share my experience cooking vegan recipes from vegan cookbooks and internet site that I am trying and and also the ones I am even developing myself!

Over the years, I had toyed many times with becoming a vegetarian for various reasons. Becoming a vegan seemed too extreme. But by January 2013, I had driven by one too many animal transport trucks on the highway with screaming animals, seen one too many videos about the food industry and the abuse of animals in that industry, heard one too many stories about rotten meat being sold as good and that did it. It's the Vegan Life for me!

Living in Germany, it isn't so easy to find the staples of the vegan diet and that is going to be an adventure. Vegan recipes call for seitan, tempeh and various things that you don't really find around here. That is going to be a challenge on my vegan road.

To tell you the truth although I get alot of compliments on my cooking, I can't say I am the best cook. Don't get me wrong, I love to eat. I love to cook. and I love to try new recipes. Food is a big part of my life (which you would know if you could see the size of my hips!). I tend to use recipes as a starting point, an indication and make it up as I go along. Most of my cooking works in spite of me! But that just might be what makes my page different!

I will be testing main dishes, side dishes, salads, soups, appetizers, and naturally desserts! I want to learn how to make basics like seitan and maybe even develop a few myself. I will be sharing all of this with you and hope you will also share your recipes and experiences with me.

I have included the servings, the duration, the utensils you might need and the cooking surface. I thought this might be helpful for people who want to try the recipes.

Vegan cooking has its challenges and I want to share my experience and hear about yours. I hope you enjoy it!
